Conflicts on multiple-use trails : synthesis of the literature and state of the practice
(United States. Federal Highway Administration, 1994-08) Moore, Roger L.
The National Recreational Trails Advisory Committee identified trail-user conflicts on multiple-use trails as a major concern that needs resolution. The Committee asked the Federal Highway Administration to produce a synthesis of the existing research to foster understanding of trail conflict, identify approaches for promoting trail-sharing, and identify gaps in current knowledge. This synthesis is intended to establish a baseline of the current state of knowledge and practice and to serve as a guide for trail managers and researchers. The goal of the report is to promote user safety, protect natural resources, and provide high-quality user experiences. It reviews management options such as trail design, information and education, user involvement, and regulations and enforcement. Trail conflicts can occur among different user groups, among different users within the same user group, and as a result of factors not related to trail user activities at all. Conflict has been found to be related to activity style, focus of trip, expectations, attitudes toward and perceptions of the environment, level of tolerance for others, and different norms held by different users. The report provides 12 principles for minimizing conflicts on multiple-use trails. Although this report is about conflicts on trails, it is intended to promote cooperation and understanding among trail users and to inspire ideas that will help reduce trail conflict. It is intended to be used by trail managers, State and local trail coordinators, researchers, and trail-user volunteer organizations. [From document]

Evaluation of bicycle and pedestrian facilities : user satisfaction and perceptions on three shared use trails in Texas
(Dept. of Recreation, Park and Tourism Sciences, Texas A&M University ; Texas Transportation Institute, 1999-05) Shafer, C. Scott; Turner, Shawn; Texas Transportation Institute; Texas A & M University.

This report describes research conducted to evaluate bicycle and pedestrian facilities (i.e., shared use trails) with user satisfaction and perception surveys. Public and community input on transportation projects is often mentioned as a necessary step in the planning process but seldom perfonned. The opinions and perceptions of facility users are immensely valuable in improving conditions at current trails as well as in the development and design of new trails. In this study, the research team developed on-site and mail-back survey instruments that were distributed on three shared use trails in Texas: the Brays and Buffalo Bayou Trails in Houston, and the Shoal Creek Trail in Austin. The responses to the surveys were analyzed to determine consistent themes and trends in user satisfaction and perceptions. The study found that several trail attributes contribute significantly to user satisfaction and higher levels of trail use. Adequate separation from motor vehicles was noted as a positive attribute that should be provided whenever possible on s~ed use trails. Trail surface quality and width was also noted as an important attribute, particularly in cases where numerous user types (e.g., bicyclists, joggers, walkers) were using the same trail. The study also revealed that many of the trail users felt that the shared use trails significantly contributed to hannonizing transportation and community goals. The survey responses indicated that the trails were used for a variety of purposes, including transportation, recreation, social interaction, and enjoyment of the natural environment. The researchers concluded that user surveys (such as those conducted in this study) are a valuable addition to other traditional transportation planning tools, and as such, can provide more and better insight into roadway and trail user behavior and motivation.

Selecting roadway design treatments to accommodate bicycles
(U.S. Federal Highway Administration, Office of Safety and Traffic Operations Research and Development, 1994-01) Wilkinson, W. C. (William C.); United States. Federal Highway Administration. Office of Safety and Traffic Operations Research and Development; Center for Applied Research; Bicycle Federation of America
This manual is designed to assist transportation planners and engineers in selecting roadway design treatments to accommodate bicycles. This is the first attempt to provide comprehensive guidelines for this process. The recommendations are based on assumptions regarding policy goals and the types of bicyclists to be accommodated, the state of the practice, and professional judgment. More research, testing, and evaluation are needed to assess and refine these recommendations. A more detailed final report on this study is available. This manual is not intended to serve as a comprehensive guide to the design of bicycle facilities. The user is referred to the current edition of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' Guide to the Development of Bicycle Facilities for detailed specifications. The manual describes the assumptions, principles, and approaches used to develop the recommendations; provides a model planning process for identifying a network of routes on which designated bicycle facilities should be provided to accommodate bicyclists of moderate ability (casual adult riders and children); and recommends design treatments and specifications for roadways to serve different types of bicyclists under various sets of traffic operational factors. The appendix contains a detailed discussion of the various types of bicycle facilities.
